Question

What is the definition of “ethics”?

Answer 1

Answer:

the set of both written and unwritten rules of moral conduct.

Explanation:

Ethic can be defined as a set of both written and unwritten principles, values or rules of moral conduct that guides (governs) human behaviors. It's a reflection that is typically based on identifying what is good or bad, right or wrong and just or unjust with respect to human behaviors.

An ethical climate can be defined as a collection of behaviors that are considered to be acceptable and correct within an organization or business firm. Also, an ethical climate provides the human resources management of an organization with a framework or benchmark on how employee behavioral issues or ethical problems are to be managed or handled within the organization.

Thus, an organization with a strong ethical climate is generally considered to have an effective, conducive, just and optimum working standards for its employees and as such would significantly increase employee trust and commitment.
